For Apple Watch users, Trident offers two new solutions to make charging the device easier than ever. First, the Valet Charging Pedestal creates a charging station that’s simple, effective and aesthetically pleasing, allowing users to charge their iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. Crafted with plush fabric lining and a premium leather finish, the Valet fits seamlessly into any setting. Next, the six-inch Curve Charging Mount provides an in-car power solution for users on the go. This innovative accessory enables users to wirelessly charge and mount their Apple Watch in environments that require flexibility. Compatible with all versions of the Apple Watch, the unique design of the 6-inch Curve Charging Mount bends to fit in a variety of different spaces, while simultaneously managing messy cables.

Combining Qi technology with a 6000 mA/h battery, the Electra Qi Power Base 6000 wireless charger powers Qi compatible phones as well as other devices through a USB cable. With the ability to charge two mobile devices at once, the device allows Qi-enabled devices to charge on its base, while a USB port is available to power a second device. This USB charging feature can support all mobile devices, whether they are Qi-enabled or not.

Protecting against drops up to four feet, Trident’s new Cyclops case for the Surface Pro 4 is designed with convenience in mind, offering superior protection with minimal bulk. Useful features include water-resistant mesh that protects speakers and vents from dust and moisture and sealed device controls and ports for superior protection. The Aegis Series Signature Edition is designed with a chic, premium leather finish that protects the Surface Pro 4 against drops and bumps, with a padded, soft micro-fiber interior.

Each case can be easily fitted onto a Surface Pro 4 with the simple, snap-on installation process. Users still have complete access to all of ports and controls through openings in the side of the case. In addition, the cases are compatible with the Surface Type Cover keyboard, so users can compose documents and send emails without removing the case.

Growing Use of Drones in Commercial Markets Creates New Career Opportunity for Trained Operators

Anyone looking for an exciting new career in a field that offers nearly limitless growth potential in virtually every type of commercial market application should seriously consider becoming certified as an unmanned aerial vehicle pilot, unmanned systems engineer, or unmanned systems project manager, according to John Minor, Provost of Phoenix, Arizona based Unmanned Vehicle University (www.uxvuniversity.com), the only university in the world that is licensed to offer graduate degree programs in Unmanned Systems Engineering and Project Management Certificates in unmanned systems technology.

“According to the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the world’s largest non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of the unmanned systems and robotics communities, the rapid adoption of drones in a wide variety of commercial markets is going to create more than 100,000 jobs and $82-billion in economic impact over the next ten years,” Minor said today.  “I don’t think there’s another career field creating as many opportunities as this anywhere in the United States, let alone the world.”

The key to capitalizing on this exciting new career opportunity, according to Minor, is unmanned systems training and education, or, more specifically in the case of unmanned aerial vehicles, pilot certification.  “Every high value added career in America today requires education,” Minor emphasized.  “Education doesn’t always mean a four year degree but it does mean high quality, specialized training from an institution that has a proven track record of education by professionals and subject matter experts in that particular field.  In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles that institution is Unmanned Vehicle University.” 

Minor pointed out that every standard being contemplated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that the operator of a commercial unmanned aerial vehicle be certified to operate that vehicle.  “The simple truth is that you are not going to be in a position to capitalize on this rapidly growing and expanding career opportunity unless you have the right education and the certification to flourish as a certified vehicle operator, unmanned systems engineer, technologist, or unmanned systems project manager.”

And there is a wide range of career opportunities just waiting to be filled in a variety of commercial markets, according to Minor — Delivery and fulfillment, Logistics, Security and Law Enforcement, First Responders, Wildfire Management, Search and Rescue, News Gathering, Photography, Film and Television Production, Oil, Gas and Mineral Exploration, Disaster Relief, Live Event Production, Agriculture, and Real Estate top the list of an ever growing number of commercial markets.  “As FAA regulations become finalized, and they will, you are going to see drones incorporated into just about every industry known to man,” Minor asserted.  “I’m not exaggerating.   Drones reduce risk, save money, and dramatically increase the productivity of every field they are used in.”

Amazon’s ongoing testing of drones, which just recently received FAA approval, is just the tip of the iceberg, according to Minor.  “Major news organizations, film and television production companies, law enforcement agencies, government agencies like the EPA, major agriculture businesses and search and rescue organizations are all already focused on incorporating drones into their daily operations.  A lot more will follow. All individuals seeking job opportunities in the Drone Industry, those transitioning to a second career, or those who want to start up a new drone-related business should kick start their ambitions by taking the flight training and/or unmanned systems academic or certificate courses that Unmanned Vehicle University offers.”

According to Minor, “Unmanned Vehicle University’s role in the unmanned industry is to provide the world’s best drone pilot training, educate the public about the economic impact and the good that drones can provide and to provide significant opportunities for research into new unmanned system technologies and operations that will make drones, safer, more reliable, more effective, more efficient, and more useful to mankind.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine Now Available from Roam Mobility

Three-year old Canadian company’s all natural screen cleaner strengthens its North American distribution network with addition of leading Canadian provider of talk, text, and data services for Canadian travelers. 

WHOOSH! Inc., the three-year old start-up that is leading the screen cleaning industry and promoting the importance of tech hygiene, today announced that its next-generation screen cleaner, WHOOSH! Screen Shine, is now being offered by Vancouver, British Columbia Roam Mobility (www.roammobility.com), one of Canada’s leading providers to talk, text, and data services for Canadian travelers.

“We are very pleased to add Roam Mobility to our growing network of North American resellers,” WHOOSH! Inc.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the next generation screen cleaner that is made with non-toxic and biodegradable surfactants instead of with harsh chemicals that can damage mobile devices and pose a threat to health. Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! was specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that not only cleans any screen but makes them shine like new while leaving an ultra-thin invisible coating that provides a resistance to dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints.  WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds. 

WHOOSH! Screen Cleaner made its debut at CES 2014 where it became the only screen and device cleaner to be awarded two coveted CES Innovations Design & Engineering Awards.
